Folks I have travelled on vacation to Mexico, Central and South America about 20 times. Lovely people, but there is often an air of "minor confusion" on many dealings with our Latin friends - from my eyes. That often is how things are done, and they have been doing it fine like that for 500 years. I just go with the flow.

Paperwork is KING in my experience. A voucher, a letter or a contract usually settles things beyond any doubt.

Mexicana have just joined Star Alliance. They are a BIG TIME airline in Latin America. IMHO they are NOT going to "dud" anyone acting in good faith off their website. If their website is wrong or out of date - their problem, not ours. For a few 1,000 points I do not believe a new Star * Carrier would argue about this effective Hilton 20,000 point free gift. And if they did - as a Gold * member I have no doubt I could ask Star * to sort it and be successful.

HOWEVER, for the sake of 3 sheets of paper, I am urging all here to consider printing out the following 3 pages and filing them.

That way if Mexicana amend or change the rules, you have a dated version of what we honesty believed was offered. No Star * Airline IMHO is gonna screw you for a few 1,000 points based on their incorrect website info! It is peanuts to them.

This link below in perfect English says 3,125 miles = 10,000 Hilton points, and 6,250 Frecuenta = 20,000 Hilton points FREE. Many on these boards are getting confused about posting what HILTON transfers points at. That here is irrelevant. Frecueta is offering this generous rate, not Hilton. Enjoy it!

This link below clearly confirms the 4,625 miles for Frecuenta program sign up:

And this below offers the 4,000 whatever (miles/km) for the calling card link - EITHER 4,000 Km or Miles will take you over the 6,250 of course (= 20,000 Hilton) when added to 4,625 program sign up.

For 3 sheets paper IMHO it is cheap "insurance" in case they alter the deal somehow in the future. My personal take however is that there will be a lot MORE point earning windows via Frecueta, not less, now they are in Star *. Hit that printer folks!
